One person's view of the world

Willie Nelson is not only an American original and a pretty decent songwriter, he has made it his mission to do what he can to save the family farm. One of my grandfathers was a wheat farmer in north central Kansas and he and my grandma raised my dad and his brothers on that family farm. I'm a long way from that farm in many ways just as all of us are a long way from understanding what the evolution from the family farm to the corporate food machine we have today is doing to us.

Thanks to my colleague Terre for pointing me to this video from Chipotle featuring Willie Nelson.
